Dries Mertens has been in Napoli since 2013 and his transfer from PSV Eindhoven. Little by little, he established himself as an essential element of the club. His contract coming to an end in the summer of 2019, he was approached by certain teams such as PSG. But the top scorer in club history (with 123 goals) finally decided to extend for another two years.
He declared his love for the club in an interview on The morning : « I studied my options, but I felt it wouldn’t be any better than here. I’m in love with everything here in Naples, I could talk about the city for hours. I am far from finished here ” With the ambition to compete with Juventus in the league: “ We have gone through a difficult period and we are all responsible for this, but we have come out stronger. We are now back on track. They say making mistakes makes you stronger, but winning makes you stronger. This is why I think that Coppa’s victory will be a defining moment for all of us. I really believe the difference to Juventus is minimal, much smaller than what the rankings say now ” This year, Napoli finds itself 7th to 30 points from the Old Lady but the Belgian remains hopeful: ” I stayed to win the Scudetto ” Words that will certainly please his supporters.
